Digital Compass is a kind of device, which can acquire the carrier' s attitude. It is often used in the system of sailings aviation and navigation. This Digital Compass not only provides the course angle but also affords the carrier' s pitch angle and roll angle .The two data of attitude are both exported digitally.This paper introduces the geneses and developing of digital compass in brief. Also expatiates digital compass' s background theory , including airmanship spatial orientation theory and attitude dynamics etc. This paper emphasizes the designed two-axis digital compass system and three-axis digital compass system and depicts them in detail. Also introduces their designing theory and software, hardware designing. |
